| EricDSnider.comEric D. SniderThe good outweighs the bad overall, and there's a great deal of fiendish creativity on display. |
| FILMINK (Australia)John Noonan...something refreshing and new to say about the genre. |
| Cinema MovilFernando Santoyo TelloIt's a pleasure to meet with this kind of works, where a group of women use their talent in a genre that continues to be erroneously associated with leading men, which shows us that diversity is necessary. [Full review in Spanish] |
| VarietyGuy LodgeEven at their least individually striking, each of these mismatched tasters stirs an appetite for a fuller, meatier meal from its maker — cooked as bloodily rare as possible, please. |
| AV ClubKatie RifeThe four participating directors were all given complete creative freedom for their films, limited only by budget and running time. The fact that three of them have to do with motherhood is a coincidence, a thematic near-miss that’s emblematic of the film’s main disjointed weakness. |
| Reeling ReviewsLaura CliffordWhile the concept is strong, the films are middling, only the last, Karyn Kusama's ("The Invitation"), delivering a punch. |
| Toronto StarPeter HowellA first of its kind in a male-dominated genre, these four short films are signed, sealed and delivered as a form of empowerment. |
| Screen InternationalKim NewmanA trim, evenly-paced 80 minutes, XX is one of the more consistent contemporary horror anthologies. |
| Chicago TribuneMichael PhillipsThe results offer a collective shiver (not a lot of shrieks here) for those in the mood for sprightly, short-form misfortune. |
| UproxxKeith PhippsAs horror anthologies go, a .500 batting average isn't bad and it would be nice to see XX, like similar projects, inspire sequels that shine a spotlight on even more female directors. |
